Frankie Solomon Shields from the Bitter Wind, Cape Town

Frankie Solomon takes a break from mounting dragons at Dungeons and saddles up into this crisp, cool cave at his local break. “I’ve been in South Africa for seven weeks now” lensman Ryan ‘Chachi’ Craig tells Stab. “Llandudno in the wintertime typically doesn’t look like this. I haven’t seen it break since I’ve been here. It’s a summer spot, and according to Frank during the summer this happens pretty frequently. The night before this shot I had just gotten back from J-bay and the winds were howling offshore. Bummed, I thought I missed it. But the next morning it was still kicking.” Here, we get Mr Solomon, nestled tight, lathed in rubber, basking in unique vision that he only knows.
